The paper suggests a tool for measuring management costs including both objective expenses that can be found in the accounting data and expenses provoked by mismanagement. By using multiple case study method, peer-to-peer interviews and information sustainability testing, a set of formulas to estimate total cost of enterprise management is developed. A new tool, managerial entropy level is introduced to measure management costs. The suggested tools are used to measure total cost of management in case of sample enterprises, and the research reveals that at a certain level of managerial entropy management-related costs exceed production costs of the companies.
The paper suggests the hypothesis that increasing level of social unease which can be seen in the world since the start of Arab spring is directly related to dynamics of informal economy. Subsequently in the paper some other suggestions are tested, including relation between the level of social unease and level of economic freedom, interrelation between the level of corruption and social unease which were not proven to be true. Quantitative testing of the above mentioned hypothesis proved there is direct relation between dynamics of informal economy and level of social unease.Also the paper deals with the role of information accessibility, and it is defined that limitations of information access influence the informal economy dynamic's influence on social unease level. It is also suggested in the paper, and some argumentation is provided that current social unease is based on changing values and beliefs and informal economy dynamics is an important indicator of that process.
Activation of the processes on globalization and national economic space regionalization actualizes the problem of formation of an effective mechanism for managing the regional socio-economic system, the availability of which ensures effective use of available resources, creates prerequisites for the formation and implementation of the competitive potential of a territorial entity, and is a necessary prerequisite for neutralizing the consequences of global and local crises. The level of sustainable functioning of regional socio-economic systems is a key factor affecting the socioeconomic development of the Russian economy in the face of increasing uncertainty in the external environment. This requires new approaches to identify tools for new governmental management at the meso level, to developing new forms and models for sustainable socio-economic development of regions. The paper substantiates the thesis that the necessary condition for the implementation of sustainable development of the regional economic system is the presence of adapters in its elements that provide a certain quality of management decisions. Regional development is aimed at achieving a set of parameters that meet the needs of economic agents: residents and non-residents of the regional economy, subject to feasibility of management decision, compliance with strategic guidelines for regional development and reducing agency costs. At the same time, regional development is interpreted as the result of structural changes (the synthesis of structure and processes) in the system of interaction between subjects of socioeconomic relations at the meso level, and controlling is considered as a tool for effective management of innovation changes
